Chapter 119: Braised Pork Over Rice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Xingchen put the pot aside and set up the small table on the operating table. He placed the pot of noodles on the small table.
“There wasn’t much time. Big Brother Zhao will have to make do with some random food. See if it’s enough.”
Zhao Hao’s family stock was more than enough compared to the average person. However, even though it was sufficient, he had not had such a sumptuous meal since the heavy snow. Usually, when he and Li Anran had a luxurious meal at home, they would at most share half of the sausage given by Ye Xingchen with porridge or rice gruel. When had he ever eaten such a big pot of noodles alone?
“Have you really eaten, Little Ye? 1 can’t finish it either. There’s too much.”
Zhao Hao’s stomach was growling, but he was afraid that Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia would give him all the food they didn’t dare to eat.
It was only when Ye Xingchen repeatedly assured him that he did not lack food and that Zhao Hao could eat without worry that Zhao Hao finally swallowed a mouthful of hot noodles.
There was even chili in the noodles. Thinking that it would make Zhao Hao eat more happily, Ye Xingchen uncuffed his right hand from the bed pole at the head of the bed.
“It’s fine, Big Brother Zhao. It’s just one or two meals. Don’t worry and eat as much as you want. I’m happy to see that you’re fine.”
Li Anran glanced over and walked around again. After realizing that the two men’s attention was not on her, she left the room angrily and returned to the sofa.
Ye Xingchen turned to look at Li Anran, who was sitting sideways on the sofa and then stuffed Zhao Hao’s phone into his arms.
“Brother Zhao, I’ve charged your phone. You should rest well.”
It was unknown whether it was because Zhao Hao had been starving for so many days or because of this special ability, but a big pot of noodles that should have been enough for three or four people actually all went into Zhao Hao’s stomach under Ye Xingchen’s eyes.
After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup, Zhao Hao burped as if he hadn’t had enough. He almost chewed up the chicken leg bone and ate it.
Zhao Hao scratched his head in embarrassment. The spicy food had caused a thin layer of sweat to form on his body. Ye Xingchen thought about it and calculated how long the tranquilizer would last. He simply uncuffed Zhao Hao’s other side so that he could go wash up.
Ye Xingchen even prepared a new set of clothes for Zhao Hao, but it was short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and he placed it at the end of Zhao Hao’s bed.
The night passed quickly. Li Anran only came to see Zhao Hao once before going to bed to express her worry for him. Then, she took the initiative to return to the sofa and held Little Treasure to sleep.
The next morning, Ye Xingchen didn’t even have time to eat breakfast and went all the way to the third floor.
First, he gave Li Anran a few pieces of frozen bread. Then, Ye Xingchen cuffed Zhao Hao’s hands and brought him into the elevator to the sixth floor.
On the sixth floor, Lin Sijia and Mo Qi were sitting in a row on the sofa waiting for Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen had instructed Lin Sijia not to make breakfast today.
“We’re here, Big Brother Zhao.”
After exiting the elevator and unlocking the door, Ye Xingchen entered the living room alongside Zhao Hao.
“Hello, Uncle Zhao.”
Mo Qi got up from the sofa and greeted him generously, which made Zhao Hao a little dumbfounded.
He had been a security guard in this neighborhood for several years, but he had never seen Mo Qi before.
“This, this is your child?”
Zhao Hao was stunned and asked a question in a daze, which shocked Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia.
“Brother Zhao, are you kidding me? How can we have such a big child so quickly?”
He brought Zhao Hao to the sofa and sat down. Zhao Hao had already been cleaned, and there was no longer the sour smell from when he first arrived.
“Let me introduce you. This is Mo Qi. I picked her up when 1 went out to look for supplies.”
Zhao Hao’s face was a little dazed. He never knew that Ye Xingchen would actually find someone from the streets.
“Brother Zhao, 1 told you yesterday that I want to tell you a secret.”
Zhao Hao’s expression turned serious as well. He looked at Ye Xingchen and nodded. “Little Ye, tell me. 1’11 definitely keep my mouth shut.”
Ye Xingchen smiled, and then a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup appeared out of thin air.
Zhao Hao’s originally serious face was now a little confused. He could not help but raise his hand to rub his eyes.
“Is there anything you want to eat, Brother Zhao?”
Ye Xingchen smiled and winked at Zhao Hao. On the other side, Zhao Hao seemed to be dumbfounded. His mouth was half open, but he couldn’t say a word. It was Mo Qi who broke the silence first.
“Brother Xingchen, 1 want to eat hamburgers. Beef hamburgers with lots of cheese and a poached egg. I want two!”
It was rare for her to order a dish. Mo Qi quickly raised her hand and saw Ye Xingchen conjure two hamburgers out of thin air and put them in front of her.
“Yay! Thank you, Brother Xingchen!”
Lin Sijia also seemed to cooperate and ordered a few Cantonese-style dim sum dishes. “Yes, I’ve been very tired recently. I want to eat something light. Give me some shrimp dumplings, pork ribs, soup dumplings, and chicken feet.”
As Lin Sijia ordered each one, Ye Xingchen took them from the space.
In a short while, half of the coffee table was occupied by the food.
“Do you know what you want to eat, Brother Zhao? Just say it. As long as I have it, 1’11 try my best to satisfy you.”
Zhao Hao seemed to have woken up from a dream. His lips trembled, and then he looked at Ye Xingchen in disbelief. He said three words with a trembling voice. “Braised Pork Rice.”
In order to let Zhao Hao experience it more vividly, Ye Xingchen also added two tea eggs for Zhao Hao.
“Have you seen my secret? However, it might not be what you think. My secret is not magic, nor is it conjuring things out of thin air.”
“Actually, I have a special ability. I have a space that none of you can see. The things 1 took out just now were stored in my space in advance.”
“I’m sure you’ve seen that I’ve been transporting loads of things home, Brother Zhao. To be honest, I’ve placed all those things in the alternate dimension.”
“My alternate dimension is one with me. When 1 live, my alternate dimension exists. When 1 die, my alternate dimension will disappear with me.”
“This is my ability.”
Ye Xingchen lowered his head and drank a mouthful of duck blood vermicelli soup, then looked at Mo Qi, whose mouth was full of sauce.
“Other than me, Mo Qi also has a special ability. Mo Qi’s special ability is lightning. She can control all lightning.”
Then, Ye Xingchen’s gaze landed on Zhao Hao.
“To tell you the truth, Brother Zhao, according to my observation of you, you should have awakened some kind of special ability too.. Do you feel that there are some parts of your body that have become different?”
